Question

If 3x minutes past 4 and 2x minutes to 5 are the same timing then what is actal time

Answer 1

The actual time would be 4:36

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

1 hour = 60 minutes

So, 4 hour = 4 × 60 = 240 minutes,

Similarly, 5 hour = 300 minutes,

According to the question,

3x minutes past 4 = 2x minutes to 5

That is,

4 hours + 3x minutes = 5 hours - 2x minutes

⇒ 240 minutes  + 3x  minutes = 300 minutes - 2x minutes

⇒ 240 + 3x = 300 - 2x

             3x = 300 - 2x - 240

     3x + 2x = 60

             5x = 60

               x = 12

Hence, the actual time= 3x minutes past 4

                                      = 4 hours + 3(12) minutes

                                      = 4 hours 36 minutes or 4:36
